"I'd do it again if I had the decision all over again" - Jeff Fisher

It's not meaningless, but it certainly is less meaningful than many on here would have you believe. Either way, we've still got work to do, which is a good thing. Having two meaningless games wouldn't have been good for the team. If we can step up to this challenge and win home field for ourselves, then I think it'll build a lot of confidence going into the playoffs. If we can't do it, then I think you see our team tighten down quite a bit over the next few weeks in order to put up the best division round performance that we can.

The loss isn't really on Fisher anyways... a team that is good enough to win converts that 4th and 3. A team that is good enough to win makes the crucial stop at the last possible moment to set the offense up for a last second miracle. I can't believe what cry babies you guys sound like. Get over it. Maybe because of this the Titans will look sharp Sunday. Look for the positives in a loss. Quit hunting scapeGLOATs. It's pathetic.

instead we let Slaton tack on 34 yards at 1:55 and then on 3rd down with 1:32 Slaton picks up still another first down. The Titans had 3 t.o's to burn... which they did, but it was futile when the Texans just were running all over us. T.O's paired with a quick three and out gives the Titans a last ditch shot to steal the victory. Your argument is bull. Some of you guys need to listen up to Gunny and just get the hell over it.

We weren't going to have any time left. Our defense quit as soon as the coach gave the Texans the game. And I can't blame them.

Hard to play your best when your coach just pissed it away. A team good enough converts 4th and 3? A team good enough was present- however a call suitable for that team was not.

A corvette is good enough to win most street races, but put it on a dirt track and see how it does.

I didn't like the play call, but I'll admit it's mostly that I didn't like the outcome. Case in point:

TEN & JAX. 4th Q, 6:00 left and we're up 17-14. Jags have the ball. They bust at 14 yard run and then take a shot deep, which is intercepted by Carr. Titans call run, run, run - looking like the we're-playing-for-a-field-goal-and-to-eat-the-clock team we've seen before. 4:00 left, 2nd & 8, pass deep left to Gage. TD, game over. We all love the call.

Now in my mind, the difference is that in the 3rd Q he hit Gage for 56 yards on the same route. So they were clicking that day... but following the 3rd Q TD Collins next attempts were 3-7 for 13 yards, 1 sack. So sometimes you have to keep taking shots and expect someone to make the play. Personally I buy into the philosophy that says you go with who's hot when the game is on the line. McCareins was not hot - here was JMacs day:

incomplete deep right to 19-J.McCareins
incomplete deep right intended for 19-J.McCareins INTERCEPTED
incomplete short right to 19-J.McCareins
incomplete deep right to 19-J.McCareins.
pass deep middle to 19-J.McCareins for 17 yards FUMBLES
pass incomplete deep middle to 19-J.McCareins

pass incomplete deep right to 19-J.McCareins
pass incomplete short left to 19-J.McCareins
pass incomplete deep left to 19-J.McCareins
pass incomplete deep left to 19-J.McCareins

7 deep passes for McCareins. 1 complete, which he fumbled. 1 other intercepted. 4th & 3 with the game on the line, I don't even look his direction. Gage, Johnson, Scaife... anybody. Heck, make Roos an eligible receiver. That's my only issue with the call.

Teams on both sides quit when the game is over. The game was over. I know we had the music city miracle once, and maybe something similar can happen again- but it's not likely. We handed it to them. Our defense knew it.

Emotions play a HUGE part in football. You're not going to find many defenses fight for 20 seconds worth of "opportunity" when you should be up by 2 points already but aren't because your coach simply decided not to be.

20 seconds? They got the ball back with 1:55 left! With three time outs, if they get a three and out we get the ball back with between 1:20 and 1:30 left on the clock. If our defense quits on the team in a one point ball game with two minutes left, then we did not deserve to win the game.

Quit bringing up facts that hurt Gloat's arguments! They should be ignored so he can be right!
